Streak-busters! Five streaks ended by NYG

A look at some of the NFL streaks that the Giants have ended over the years

All streaks must come to an end. Just ask the Undertaker.

The WWE legend saw his 21-0 record at WrestleMania end last night to Brock Lesnar in pro wrestling’s signature event. The crowd at the Superdome in New Orleans stood shocked along with millions of viewers across the world.

In the world of sports, sometimes you’re the Undertaker; sometimes you’re Lesnar.

The Giants are no stranger to the latter, and here we take a look at some of the best streaks which Big Blue has busted over the years:

1. Undefeated Patriots
